Andy is just a bit surprised when Gomer informs him that, having received his notice from the Draft Board, he has signed up with the US Marine Corps. Andy isn't quite sure that the country bumpkin is quite cut out to be a Marine and offers him a ride down to the base if for no other reason to than to be there when they reject him. Gomer soon meets his tough as nails Sergeant, Vince Carter, and the lovable doofus seems to go out of his way to make trouble for himself. Andy decides to help Gomer out by telling Carter a little white lie about Gomer's family connections.
